Two-stage ankle arthrodesis using the induced membrane technique for pyogenic arthritis: a case report
Ankle arthrodesis performed via the induced membrane technique not only successfully controlled infection, but also achieved complete bone union, enabling the preservation of ankle joint. This technique demonstrates its potential as a highly effective approach for treating pyogenic ankle arthritis.
